I got these as a Christmas gift (so it's past the 30 days, or else I'd return them, one even was missing a cap). First off beware that even though they are all fine tip some colors have a ball tip (black and silver) and others have a push in type tip, as pictured. So the photos are incorrect for the black and silver. The black actually crackled on the canvas (over other acrylic paint) I was working on recently and I wasn't too happy. The colors are nice, and the finish is glossy, which is okay in some cases.

These markers do not work on harder surfaces (i.e. vinyl), the nib needs frequent cleaning, the body needs to be squeezed frequently to get decent flow. The nib also needs more-than-average pressure to maintain flow, so this cannot be used on delicate surfaces.
